Banquet Hall

As-salamu Alaykum,

This memo is in regard to the “Notice of Moratorium on MCC Banquet Hall Closure” issued May 2023, where the MCC Board announced the closure of the MCC Banquet Hall for any external events until further notice. We understand that the closure of the MCC Banquet Hall had an impact on some of the community members who were planning to host their events here.

The MCC Banquet Director and staff left when the MCC was closed and for the past few months, both ICCD BOT and the MCC Board have been working together to explore various options to reopen the MCC Banquet Hall to continue serving the community’s needs.

At our November 2023 ICCD General Body meeting, it was announced that we are planning a soft launch of the MCC Banquet Hall in February 2024 (subject to availability) and a grand reopening after Eid-ul-Fitr. During the soft launch, we will try out our new MCC Banquet Hall team, which will be responsible for managing MCC events going forward. Since this is a completely new team, we’ll utilize any events scheduled this month for training and familiarize them with the MCC facility. However, the position for taking bookings for the events is still vacant and we are actively searching for someone to fill the role. Please let us know if you know anyone in your circle who might be interested in this position. As a reminder, MCC will be closed for Ramadan toward the end of February and will officially reopen for external events after Eid-ul-Fitr.

We are currently taking soft bookings on a first-come, first-served basis to block dates for anyone planning their events after Eid-ul-Fitr at MCC. If you would like to inquire about the availability of a date for a tentative booking, please email: events@mccalbany.org.

Please note that any booked dates at this point are tentative and not confirmed. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this time. We are confident that by working together, we can reopen the MCC Banquet Hall to continue providing the community with the option to host their future events at MCC.

Sincerely,
MCC Board of Directors

” My family and I reserved space at the MCC to celebrate my Mother’s 60th Birthday. It was a pleasure working out all the details with Tyara, everything was smooth from start to finish. I received nothing but GREAT feedback from my family and friends. Thanks again to the MCC staff for their warm hospitality. Whenever we hold another family event, the MCC will be our first choice! “

” Salam brothers and sisters, couple weeks ago we had my sisters wedding at the MCC and the place was big enough to fit the guests and the parking lot was more than enough. TYARA BURNEET was responsible for us and we had the best service and management from her. She is a very lovely, respectful and kind person. She helped us with everything and she is 10/10. Thank you so much for your help and kindness, we appreciate you. “

We have held and attended many events here before and although the place is beautiful we’ve always had issues with staff but the staff at this venue were amazing and attentive and most importantly friendly!! And beyond helpful everything we asked for or needed was dealt with promptly and although we didnt host this event it looked very planned out and everything ran extremely smoothly. Great job and keep it up!! “

” I wanted to take a moment to comment And thank you for arranging an outstanding event for us. We recently had our eid dinner on Friday 5/6, and there were almost 150 guests. We were a bit worried as this was our first event at MCC but Tyara and her team did an outstanding job. Guests were also very impressed with the arrangements. We have recommended MCC Banquet Hall to all our friends.

Thank you so much for taking care of everything at professional level. “
